THE DIARY OF A CHRIST FOCUSED CHRISTIAN!
????????????????????????????????????????
LOOKING BACK; THE LOT'S WIFE SAGA...THE LESSONS!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
=======================
But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. (Gen 19: 26)

Remember what the Lord thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt. (Deu 24: 9)

Remember Lot’s wife. (Luk 17: 32)

Perhaps, the verse above should be the second shortest verse in the Bible, after *And Jesus wept* in John 11! And both verses attributed to Christ Jesus are laden with ominous undertones.

Lord Christ Jesus,in your Name,I ask for mercy and grace,which only is capable of breaking into pieces out hearts of stone,that Your Word might sink into us, and re-mould us into Your desired shape,Amen ????????!

Hardly is there any Christian who hasn't heard of Lot and his family. Equally,is there hardly any Christian who hasn't made the same dangerous mistake Lot's wife made,at one point or the other, that's if we are sincere with ourselves. We have,but escaped because of *GRACE* unlike Lot's wife,for at that time grace wasn't readily available as It is today.

And that *GRACE* we are wilfully ABUSING today. Everything about this hardly known Lot's wife,speaks of the love,lust and unbridled attachment to material prosperity...*THE VERY AND SAME ALLURES SPEEDILY BUT STEADILY SINKING THE PRESENT MATERIAL WORLD*

The story of Lot’s wife in the Old Testament is a great lesson to all believers on how we should live our Christian lives of no compromise or looking back like Lot’s wife did.

Lot’s wife is a great example that we can learn from when dealing with temptation or sinning. It is important for us as Christians to have faith in God’s promises and trust Him as He leads us through life’s trials and tribulations.

The bible verse, “but Lot’s wife looked back and she became a pillar of salt,” in Genesis 19:26 reminds us of the danger of looking back as believers.

It is why our Lord Jesus Christ tells us we must remember Lot’s wife whenever we think of looking back or turning to the world we once forsook if we are not to end up like her.

Lot’s wife became a pillar of salt and perished because her heart was still in Sodom even if she was out of Sodom and Gomorrah as she couldn’t stand the things she left there getting destroyed by fire.

Allow me to point out the effect of whom we associate with here, before we move on.
It's said *Birds of the same feather flock together* This is true of Papa Lot, and if he makes it Home, it's certainly by GRACE.

It's evident that Lot's wife is at home with the ways of the world,but her husband wasn't innocent either. Because,when his Uncle(Abraham) who has been fully responsible for him since he lost his parents,decided to avoid further conflicts between their herdsmen by dividing the land...a land that was Abraham's by entitlement,*HE COULDN'T ACCORD THAT UNCLE THE RESPECT OF CHOOSING FIRST(EVEN IF IT'S BY PRETENCE)*

No,he didn't. Rather, because of his covetousness, greediness and selfishness,he went ahead and chose the greener pastures, without blinking an eye, or caring about the remaining side that was like a forsaken land...he didn't care a hoot about a man who has sacrificed so much for him... little did he realise that*ALL THAT GLITTER IS NOT GOLD*

He didn't know he chose death...first, he was captured,it took his Uncle again with his 300 servants to rescue him from either slavery or death. Then,came God's destruction, and again,his ever forgiving uncle ,stood his ground with God to appeal for his safety,which God granted because of Abraham,but nearly scuttled by himself.

So,it isn't far-fetched how made out with his wife, they're one of a kind. Thus, I must CONFESSED I wasn't satisfied with the title bestowed upon him by Apostle Peter;

7. And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8. (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, VEXED his RIGHTEOUS soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) (2Pe 2: 7-8)
